Discover the stories behind the historic Three Stories at the Saybrook Point Inn.

This stately Victorian Italianate was originally built in 1892 by William Vars, a train engineer who brought visitors from Hartford to vacation at the Connecticut shore. The home fell into dilapidation when owned years later by Marie Clark. Stephen Tagilatela (of the Saybrook Point Inn) would walk past the grand house every day and watch the house crumble. Wanting to restore the home and maintain its history, Stephen purchased the house and renovations began on The Stories. Renaming the Clark-Vars house to Three Stories was just the beginning.

Each elegant suite has a story dedicated to the person whose name appears on the door reflecting their style and history in Old Saybrook. Whether it is the Katherine Hepburn Suite, which boasts pictures and history of both mother and daughter, or the Steffie Walters Suite, the original owner of the Dock and Dine, each room is uniquely detailed.
